Stayed here for two nights. Very big comfortable room, but not soundproof as advertised. We could clearly hear the guy next door until midnight! Breakfast is fine, although I was expecting a US style breakfast rather than medialunas and sliced ham. Room service was a little disappointing, but adequate. Very well located in a busy touristy area of Buenos Aires

Was looking for a hotel in a good central location and this hotel delivered. Accessed through a pedestrian shopping precinct, once you have navigated passed the Tango touts the reception is found on the 1st floor where they spoke excellent English. We got there at around 11 am and were given a room straight away which we weren't expecting. Our room was very spacious and functional. Soundproofing wasn't the best, being able to hear the mobile keep ringing in the room next door, we kept thinking it was one of ours, but it didn't stop us from having a good nights sleep. Coffee kit is the room is NOT complimentary so be aware of this when presented with a bill at checkout. Complimentary breakfast was adequate being mainly sweet pastries and scrambled egg being the only hot. Only small issue we had was our room keys kept failing so back to reception each time for a new one. Well located in Retiro you can walk within 15-20 minutes to Puerto Madero, Centro and Recoleta for most of the sights of B A.

Hidden away inside Howard Johnson Plaza, just beyond the wine shop where the cambio touts tell you to go is the best coffee (two for the price of one) and fresh lemonade we have come across. Great home made pastries make for a cheap snack lunch. Really friendly people who run it.

Not like HoJo in the US. This is a nice hotel. Calle Florida is a pedestrian-only street, so the cab had to park some distance from the hotel. And the entry arrangement is a little confusing. You come in on one floor, but nothing there but the elevator. The check-in is one floor up.
The street is obviously a tourist hang-out. There were maybe 50 people within a couple blocks trying to get us to exchange money. Annoying, but eventually some of them recognized us and didn't bother to hit on u...

Rooms are nice, and we actually had a decent view -- although it's pretty junky looking down.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Lots of restaurants and bars nearby. And lots of tourist shops along the street.

There was nothing to like about this hotel
It is not accessible by road. A good 400 meters. That means, every time, you have to carry your bags from the taxi drop off to the lobby via a tiny gallery. Five guys keep standing at the gallery entrance, offering currency exchange at parallel rates. The breakfast is terrible. Definitely not worth a penny!

Five guys keep standing at the gallery entrance, offering currency exchange at parallel rates. The breakfast is terrible. Definitely not worth a penny! The coffee is like drinking colored hot water without any taste. The juice and yoghurt- probably the cheapest quality available in whole of Argentina! Eggs were like having toasted liquid bread. Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! When I asked at the reception to extend my stay as there might be a change of plan, they asked me to vacate the room as the hotel was oversold. Technically, Inhouse guest has priority over new incoming guests. Bedsheets are of polyester fabric. Not very comfortable. Towels are yellowish. Hot water trickles, the shower head doesn't have that smooth flow for a good hot shower. And it is at the end of Florida street. Becomes deserted in the evening.
Elevators are slow. Internet is poor in the rooms. Stay st your own risk

A well situated very reasonably priced hotel. Clean and modern with free wi-fi. Free buffet breakfast with a huge choice of cereal bread, pastries etc...a great find. Everything was easily accessible from the hotel and taxi services are frequent and inexpensive. We managed to also organise a late checkout for a minimal charge which worked perfectly for us with small children

I've paid for two rooms (3 adults and 2 small children), when it could've been only one room but hotel refused to accept it... regardless, the room was OK, good cleaning and the cleaning personnel was very polite. Breakfast had not many options, everyday we had to wait for backfills of coffee, milk, etc, but quality was OK. Somewhat hard to to find a seat though, seems that the area is very undersized. The hotel entrance stays at the Florida Street, which is closed for cars, therefore be prepared to carry all your luggage on non-flat street and also take care of your children at the same time.....
The room has an old air conditioning/heating system which is past due to renew, therefore it makes a lot of noise. Even when you decide to turn it off, the noise keeps going on.
The worst experience though was with the front desk. Not only the staff didn't seem to make and effort and provide good customer service overall, but also they created an awful situation for me and my family. In the day we'd leave, I booked a cab from the hotel to EZE airport. I requested them to book a minivan as we were in five passengers and I was in front of the attendant when he called the company and booked it for me at 6pm and at a given price, which I agreed to. When I left the room with family and bags for checkout, I was told that there were two cars (!!!) waiting for me by the next block (remember that the street doesn't allow cars and it was raining just to make it easier...). When I asked why there were two cars, the front desk person said it was because we were in five. Then I had to explain the whole van reservation story, he tried to confirm again and realized they - THE HOTEL - messed up with reservations, so the van would come later and for ANOTHER room and not mine. Then I asked what could he do to fix it because with two cars I'd have to split the family, with two small children, and would need to pay twice as much for the ride. He said the only thing he could do was to CANCEL the two cars and let ME FIGURE OUT A WAY to take my family to the airport using public transportation. I couldn't be more frustrated. I headed to the two taxis and, realizing that it was a terrible mistake made by the HOTEL, the taxi drivers managed to talk to their company, give me a discount and then their company would try to settle things down with the incompetents from the hotel.
I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

Our impression of this hotel was overall good. I don't agree with saying that the staff didn't speak any English, as the staff of the frontline desk speaks English very well. No, the maid doesn't speak English, but that's not a problem. They were all very friendly and helpful. The comments about the noise of the air-con unit are true, my husband is very allergic to buzzing sounds and even when we put the air-con off, the noise remained.

The comments about the noise of the air-con unit are true, my husband is very allergic to buzzing sounds and even when we put the air-con off, the noise remained. But also here the staff was very understanding and helpful, they offered us another room, they gave us the opportunity to listen first in that other room if the noise was less. It seems all over the building, it's not bothering me, but if you can't stand buzzing sounds, it's annoying. In the end, another staff member showed us a trick to put the noise off, so the problem was solved.
Yes, there are a lot of money-changers in Florida street, and at the entrance of the hotel, but they wouldn't bother you if you shook your head, and after a few days, the guys in front of the hotel recognised us and just greeted us. They're not aggressive. Furthermore, our room was clean, perhaps a bit too dark. We've been in Howard Johnson La CaÃ±ada in CÃ³rdoba as well, and that was much more modern, although in HJ Florida the TV was a huge flatscreen TV with a variety of channels, but mainly (99%) in Spanish only. We've missed an English version of CNN.
All in all, I would recommend this hotel. If the taxi drops you at Plaza San MartÃ­n, it's a less than a one-minute walk to the entrance of the hotel.

The Howard Johnson Plaza Florida is very well located, at the beginning of Florida street. It is not accessible directly by car but is only 50 meters from Paraguay street in the South and Marcelo T. Alvear in the North. Room are spacious and breakfast is quite reasonable. Service is almost inexistent.

This Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel is located in central Buenos Aires at the top end of Florida Street very near to Plaza San Martin, a nice expanse of green leading to the Retiro Railway Station. Florida is a pedestrian street and leads to the very centre of the city. All is within walking distance, too, of the Puerta Madera, the refurbished harbor district.

Florida is a pedestrian street and leads to the very centre of the city. All is within walking distance, too, of the Puerta Madera, the refurbished harbor district. A bit further will take you to the Costanera Sur, a wonderful nature reserve with paths for walking or cycling.
The hotel is located in a multi-purpose building; an elevator will take you to the first floor reception desk and dining area. Check-in was very friendly and efficient; indeed, everyone was nice for the entire week I stayed here. Breakfast selections - included in the room charge - were good . The entire hotel is equipped with wifi, although it's a bit inconvenient because the passwords for the lobby, the restaurant and the room are each different.
The room was on the small side; very comfortable bed; good bathroom; even a small balcony. There was however not a good writing table or desk which made working quite uncomfortable; I'd go down to the restaurant for a proper table so I could save my back.
Nice hotel, though, and I enjoyed being there.

The rooms are large and comfortable with classic interiors and overall well maintained. There is a spacious gym with basic but good equipment. There is a very good breakfast buffet.
The place has a few (small) drawbacks: Cars cannot drive into the pedestrian mall entrance of the hotel so the last 50 meters to the door needs to be walked. The wifi is instable and sometimes just drops out. Many rooms have adjoining doors which provide poor sound insulation. My neighbour was talking loudly on his cell phone for most of the day and in the end I had to request another room. To their credit, the professional and very helpful staff complied promptly.
